Join me tonight on a journey on the dark waters of Shrewley Tunnel. In this episode we travel not just through the tunnel but also through history and try to capture the life of those who worked the canals by physically 'legging' boats through.

Journal entry:

“12th September, Friday

Having Brunch at the Gongoozler’s Rest Café.
The smell of wet earth and fallen apples
A frisson of rain among rowan leaves
Scarlet berries decorating the ground.

A sleepy wasp crawls over my hand.
I can feel its tiny life vibrating within it.

Later we watch a duck asleep in the rain.
Days together like this – make the difference.”
